Hi Friends,I want to share a Valentine Table with you today.I set this table while under a bit of duress! A 16 month old toddler named Addison followed me around undoing just about as fast as I was doing!

But I so wanted to join Laurie's Valentine party.

However, if you see some out of place cups or silverware you will know why!

The only new for my table are the tulips and picks.$5 for the tulips and about $2 for the Valentine Pics.

The place-mats, napkins and napkin rings were a give-away win.The white plates were 4/$10 at TJ Maxx.My blue and white Myott Finlandia has been purchased slowly at garage sales and E-Bay. I love that stuff and am slowly adding as I find a good buy. I recently found another dinner plate for only $1.99 at Savers.The red heart bowls were a buck a piece at Michael's.

Sunny but chilly yesterday although we've had a fairly mild winter without much snow.

Oh how pretty this is. I love the blues with the reds, and those napkins and napkin rings are so pretty. Of course, I was ooing and aahing over your table, and then I scrolled to the picture of that cutie pie. She is absolutely adorable, and I'm so glad Addison and your tablescape will be joining in the party! Thanks Cindy! Hugs, laurie

Hi, Cindy! Where on earth did you find tulips for just $5??!?! That's a great buy, and the color is wonderful on your table! I can only imagine what you were up against with a toddler recreating her own version of your table!

I bet Addison was a big help Grandma! And this is a fun table so I can't blame her! I love your china! Have we seen it before? The red dishes look very sweet on top and so do your accessories that you won!

I haven't done a tablescape in the longest time. I guess that is a good thing since I haven't bought any dishes! I did buy some plates to hang on the wall. Do you have any hanging? If so, what did you use to hang them with? I have some very strong velcro but I am not so sure about it. CRASH!!

How beautiful! I would never have thought of putting all this together but it looks like they were all made for each other. You are a great bargain hunter. wish you lived here so we could shop together...none of my friends seem to appreciate a bargain as much as I do:)

Ohh my...I just giggled when I read what you posted at the end..."A table by Addison and her Grandma"! Simply adorable!!! She looks sooo pretty in her Valentine dress!

Well dear friend, your Valentine table is gorgeous! I love that you added the blue into your pretty table. Ooooh...I love the Finlandia pattern too! I would love to have a set. Love your pretty red heart placemats and napkins! Everything is perfect and the pretty tulips are the "icing on the cake"! Thanks for sharing your pretty table with us, dear friend!

Well...I am just beginning to get around blogland. I'm having a difficult time getting back into the swing. Thank you for all of the sweet notes that you've been leaving for me, Darlin'! Love you so much!

You are a wonderful Grandma and and what a cute and precious grandaughter. The fun of tablescaping with a new designer shows how you can start them at a young age! I just love your post and the blue and red is great for Valentine's day. The tulips in the blue vase and then the placement in the planter coordinates perfectly with the place settings! Happy Tea Party and Valentine's Day! Pam

Oh, Cindy, your table is so lovely! I love the white dishes & the Finlandia china you are thrifting is gorgeous. Addison is such a cutie pie & I know you couldn't have accomplished such a fantastic tablescape without her assistance....lol!

I can just imagine your excitement over your upcoming trip to see little Calista. Another cutie pie!CAS

I commented on this via my ipad , but I see it didn't go through. Sorry I am late.Your table is lovely, and the tulips just sing Spring. It is in the 20's here today, the first really cold weather we have had, so I am not complaining!I love those dishes, and they make such a pretty setting!LOL, I have 4 of those little helpers, but they aren't here that often so I go with it! You are a saint!

I think I literally squeeled when I saw that photo of Addison!! Cindy, do your mother and I have the cutest GRANDS in the world or what? Oh, ok, I guess other people do too..but..still. That child is just too darned cute for words! Always has been!Oh..right..your Valentine's table.Well, those ruffled bowls did me in..how sweet. The napkins are adorable too..should I do a Valentine table? Hmmm...not sure.I've been lazy lately. :)I LOVE yours! I think you and Addison did a fantastic job. :):)Hugs,Mona
